I ran in the same issue today on questing with yt-dlp. while yt-dlp -U shows: Current version: [email protected] from yt-dlp/yt-dlp Latest version: [email protected] from yt-dlp/yt-dlp
it looks like cloudflare is "protecting" youtube to be automated downloaded: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ#im-getting-http- error-403-and-the-site-has-an-open-issue-on-the-tracker-thats-labeled- cloudflare-related-what-can-i-do but instead of fiddeling with useragents i tried adding --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=web_embedded,web,tv" which worked since youtube seems to block yt-dlp pretending to be a iOS client . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2038524 Title: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (cannot use yt-dlp) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yt-dlp/+bug/2038524/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
